Let’s see how shady Andy is with Vicki tonight. First of all he talks about Tamra not knowing how to pronounce “pastor’ he says to Andy it “paster e, r right?” No Andy that is paster, like one who pastes. Good grief! Andy talks about Vicki being broken up with Brooks. He says she says they aren’t getting back together but they have done this before. he talks about her periscope that I seriously doubt he watched and more likely read about it someplace like right here. Vicki says Brooks has moved to Florida and she is staying in the OC.
Shannon is already texting Andy directly saying that she realizes that the affair was going to come out eventually and she would go on a talk show circuit and a speaking tour to emasculate and demean her husband who she is very, very happy with , but at that time they were taping and Vicki thought she was the only one who knew and she didn’t know that she had told Heather and Tamra . Vicki says that’s not true. Tamra had told her Shannon admitted the affair to her. Then Billy asked her that morning which was the day of filming the finale what she had filmed this summer and she told him that a lot of the season is abut Shannon and David working through their affair.
Andy asks why Brooks and Vicki broke up. She said it was a lot of things. The situation with Briana, he’s from the south and wanted to move back, the stress of the show wasn’t good for him since he’s sick. She says longterm they were not going to work but short term was amazing.
A caller who was very pro Vicki called in to ask if any of the girls have checked up on how she is doing since the breakup with Brooks? No. They still have their mother and they still have their partner. I’ve had two huge losses this year. And they’re not there for me. That makes me realize that we’re just TV friends I guess.
A caller is supportive of Vicki and then asks if she regrets how she treated Gretchen when she was on the show? How I treated Gretchen? Um, of course. I mean there were things Gretchen did to her that she is sure she regrets as well. Vicki says she regrets it anytime she is mean to someone. She basically a nice person but if you press the wrong button you are going to see psycho Vicki come out. Gretchen was watching the show and tweeted that Vicki should be left alone to love whoever she wants without any interference and she knows exactly how Vicki feels. (paraphrased).
Side note: Vicki looks very deflated and keeps taking deep breaths. She doesn’t seem happy to be there. She’s definitely NOT Whooping it up!
Do you blame Tamra for Cancer Gate? Vicki said yes it did start from Tamra. She says the whole thing was really odd and awkward.
Do you think you were too hard on Briana about the Brooks situation? Briana doesn’t like Brooks, we all know that. How about we just don’t talk about Brooks on camera. She is pissed that Briana went to lunch with Tamra and kept on talking about Brooks on camera.
Mazel: OMG! Chrissy Teigan and John Legend are pregnant! Chrissy has been trying everything to get pregnant! So happy for her!
Wow Vickie really looked sad. On the finally when she was in the limo and Tamara told her about that office not doing the scans the look on her face was shock to me and her brothers reaction kind of made me feel like that didn’t know that for the first time. The reunion and the Crooks interview should be interesting.
I am sure you heard HBC Spurrier retired today. Love him or hate him, Darth Visor was entertaining.
I hope Vicky finds some happiness. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was her last season–maybe one more to set things right.
I think she’ll stay on the show-the women turn against someone every season and this was Vicki’s turn. It’s very unfortunate she was going through real trauma and not just manufactured shit for the show. I think she loves the money and the exposure for her business- although she seems to have a love/hate relationship with show.
She was very low key and sad last night and I think she’ll come back next season very wary and mistrustful of everyone but will eventually forgive at least one person and cling to them. I just hope it’s not Tamara again-she keeps going back to her-she never learns-it’s like going to the hardware store to buy oranges-she’s not going to get what she wants from that bitch.
It seemed on the show that Vickie wss going through some stuff allready, before they confronted her. She seemed sad like she knew the thing with Brooks was on its way out, and she was losing him. She had too much pride to admit it to anyone. I think Brooks didnt want to ever stay with Vickie long term, and was allways going to trade her in for a younger model some day. It didnt matter about Breanna or the others on the show, I feel she was allways being played and that Brooks isnt a good guy and that Vickie wasnt his type even.
ADMIN EDIT: PLEASE READ THE COMMENTING RULES.
Sorry to the rest of you, I thought I trashed this from moderation, must have pushed the wrong button in a hurry to get things done today.

Except Vicki and Brooks didn’t break up until late this summer after a vacation in Florida with Brooks. And that day she was going to wherever Brooks was after the pool party.
“Crooks”? Seriously?
Awww Vicki. She deserves to be happy I just wish she could find a man that wasn’t a creep. Andy is such a dick.
I just found and read your very first post.
Wow what a ride you have had Lady!
I don’t know the whole situation with the breakup . I can say if I had cancer and I was in a city that is not my home town don’t really have any friends that are my own or family and all that are my spouses hate me it would be a hard pill to swallow. Not really conducive to to better health. Maybe also he realizes that in such a hard situation dealing with her moms death Vicki needs her family around more than ever and that wasn’t gonna happen with him around who knows. It could have been a very selfless act by someone who loves her very much and also needs to look out for their own personal health. There lies a mutual decision to end the relationship that would be in the best interest of both people.
I do admire Vickie for being the independent, hard worker that she is. She is definitely self-made and earned everything she has. That being said, she suffers from the same ailment I do in life – I have a “broken picker” and unfortunately, they stopped making the part a long time ago to fix it!
Therapy!! Therapy can help. I also took a three year break (in my early 30’s -prime years, sigh..) when I realized I keep dating the same type of guys they just had a different face. The break and therapy made me look in a new direction and I found my husband.
Very good rollercoaster of a season for RHOC but I feel Vicki should take a break and reflect on what she wants to do next. I feel for her, she’s been through a lot this year.
Vickies markup artist didn’t do her any favors with the “smokey” eye. Those old time sayings are right….just cause they make it in your size doesn’t mean you should wear it.
Personally, I felt that Brooks was off with her this year. I know he is sick, but she would be gushing all over him and his response was lackluster to say the least. If it is true they were forcing the shooting of the show on him that may explain part of it. I just found this whole season so very down trodden. The light hearted moments seemed false and the friendships weren’t authentic to me. Every show just seemed to leave me with a bad taste. I wouldn’t really want one of these women as my friend. I would be afraid to turn around. Just a very sad and disappointing season.
I thought the same thing. I was also thinking that Vicki was starting to see him more clearly…be it the cancer/maybe not cancer, what a lot of us watching thought he was sketchy.. And until she came to a decision about him she was definitely not going to buy into the fact that she may have gotten played by him in one way or another. She became very..thou dost protest too much.
Maybe next year is how she started to see through it and comes out as stronger hear me roar?
I think when you start making excuses for the guy alot, its a big red flag. After a break up one time I was told by some that I had done that. When I looked back my gist of it was, that was a way of lying to myself then, because I didnt want to let go at that time. So I justified all the times he let me down. And then every time he tried to get back in again, he was so nice, that I would melt and have amnesia about what he was really like. I feel for Vickie on this, and hope she is done this time for good. The longer this continues the worse it hurts each time you break up. Some guys are just evil and dont even consider the woman’s feelings.
I noticed that too. They started off decent at the begaining, like when she threw her party. But later in the season they went flat. I think before break ups this is what happens. It fizzles and its just a terrible insecure feeling for the one who still wants the other person. I think you feel it and ive heard of guys postponing the breakup sometimes because the woman isnt doing anything wrong, the guy just wants out. Sometimes they do stuff on purpose so shell do the break up or initiate a talk about “where is this going”. That “talk” is usually the end, but youve got to know and face it sometime. Anyway, the thing Vickie has with Brooks, the off and on and not really going anywhere even after several years, is par fior the course and pretty typical these days.
I have always liked Vicki, did not always agree with her, though. This season though, the ladies reminded me of being that group of girls that’s on the in-click and they will say and do anything to find that one target that they can abuse.There’s the leader of the pack a.k.a Meaghan and then everyone else that wants to jump on the bandwagon that wants to stay relevant. My question is just: what would they gain by him admitting that he does not have cancer? Are they going to throw him a party? give him money? What? And picking on Vicki clearly did not earn them brownie-points.Ultimately Brooks is the only person that can answer that question. If he is lying, well, then he has to deal with the consequences. Amen
I didn’t watch every episode this season, couldn’t really get into it. I saw the last one with Tamra’s baptism. Their White Party, not unlike Kyle’s in BH. Even though I’m not a faithful viewer, I always come here to read your excellent blog TT. Thank your for your brilliant work ethic and flawless writing skills.
.
For reasons that I don’t fully understand, I really like Vicky! She’s an enigma to me. She’s a complicated woman full of absolutes and contradictions. Comparing herself to Jesus made me laugh. #Delusion much? A few years ago it was all about her ‘Love Tank’ and being a workaholic and not getting what she needed from Don. Now, with her mother’s death, Brooks and the intrusive questions about his illness from her TV friends, the impact of those fractured friendships, there’s been hardly a #Whoohoo in sight. Perfectly understandable. I want Vicky to take all of the time she needs to mourn, cry, be snuggled by her family (she has adult children, grandchildren, siblings, neices/nephews and people that genuinely love and care for her.( At least I HOPE SO) away from Bravo cameras.
It’s sad that Brooks has not turned out to be the man she thought he was. They might have broken up permanently this time. I wish Tamra has been a better friend during this difficult time. I hope she doesn’t milk her ‘I told you so’ position. Let’s see how long the reformed Tamra lasts. I liked Tamra and Vicky together. That seemed to be a solid friendship.
Vicky, if you’re reading this blog, this particular London viewer doesn’t judge you for what you’ve done. It’s been a hard season and you have your reasons. Just own up and step into the firing line so that you can be ‘shot’ by the castmates who are gunning for you. It’s your turn in the hotseat. Don’t deflect, look your cast mates in the eye and address everything fully. You’re the old G of the OC!! Don’t let this be your last season. You need to leave on a high!
Looking forward to the reunion.
